a gorgeous sunrise. temperatures today are going to be a little crisp to start but our air quality is so beautiful now that we had that rain come through. 53 in san francisco, breathe it in this morning. 54 in oakland, you're at 42 in gilr gilroy. our next system of low pressure heads in tomorrow but high pressure will keep it out of the south bay at least through tonight then showers arrive afternoon tomorrow. wherever you live in the bay area, that's going to dictate what time the showers start. we start to get our first showers up in marin and sonoma county. that front slides to the south as we head through 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning but nice and dry from san jose up along the east shore into oakland. as we continue that futurecast it starts to get more active between 2:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. wednesday. the whole front comes through very quickly. we stop the clock at 11:00 a.m. wednesday. nice, clear conditions, beautiful air quality looking really good for your family and friends who might be coming into

actually this backup keeps things north of here pretty smooth up toward the airport. that's a nice, pleasant shift over there. a live look outside and we'll show you how things are shaping up. an easy drive through san rafael and all the way down into the city. holiday weeks we see a lot more traffic midday and afterwards. the niners are playing south of the city so that will start slowing about 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon. in the east bay we're looking at the slowdown. the bay bridge toll plaza, the backup really slow up the incline. all the way back to the berkeley curve. but the east shore freeway still moves pretty smoothly through berkeley. back to you. 6:49. happening now, an all-out manhunt in san jose after four robberies, a homicide and an officer-involved shooting. police in san jose have already arrested this man in connection with a string of crimes, but they're looking for a second gunman, and they're anxious to track him down. marla tellez is live with what police are doing this morning.

injuries today. police are offering a $10,000 reward for information that will lead to that second suspect. i mentioned that press conference today that's happening at city hall at 9:30 this morning. we will bring you the outcome during our 11:00 a.m. newscast. jon. >> thank you very much. lawyers for the accused gunman in that deadly shooting spree at an oakland university now questioning his state of mind. a hearing will be held today to determine the mental competency of him. goh stands accused of killing seven people and trying to kill three others during a shooting rampage earlier this year at oikos university where he was a nursing student. lawyers are asking for the criminal case to be put on hold last month while he undergoes psychiatric tests trying to figure out whether he is fit to stand trial. 6:52. it is a somber vigil, a bay area family has kept for 24 years. every year on november 19th, the family of michaela garecht

to be a victim of the speed freak killers. test results on that fragment were delayed as the bones were sent to a second lab. now, in her blog, michaela's mom writes that means that today marks 24 years since the last carefree day in my life, and yours, 24 years sips the last time i was able to be there to still your fears in the night. the ceremony is set for about 10:00 this morning. the time of day when michaela disappeared. reporting live in hayward, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much. right now we have continuing coverage this morning as bay area families work very hard just trying to make ends meet during this holiday season. this was the scene earlier this month as families waited in line at sacred heart community center to register for food and to register for toys. today those families will wait in line again as those holiday items are handed out. bob redell is live right now at sacred heart community center in san jose with a great event and doing some good things out there, bob.

the worst of the recession. so every day we see people in our lobbies who work hard, but just can't afford to live in this area looking for help and that's why we're here. >> reporter: in terms of frozen birds, you were about a thousand short come wednesday. that's what you're anticipating right now. so i assume the best thing is money? >> if people can bring by starting today, come on in, bring by one, two or three at a time, anything that can help or go to our website so we can make a quantity purchase. >> reporter: jay, thank you very much. happy thanksgiving to you. you can find them online just do a google search. reporting live here, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> you feel so good when you help. thanks, bob. in fact this year nbc bay area is teaming up with safeway stores to help the second harvest food bank stock its shelves. over the weekend you may have seen a lot of our morning team out and b we all headed to different safeway stores throughout the bay area to encourage people to donate to the second harvest food bank. and you know what, you still can. you can head out to any safeway

and tully and that's causing all of this backup. monterey highway picking up the volume a bit but it's a good alternate. we'll look also farther out as we see slowing south 880 all wait down from san leandro through hayward heading toward the dumbo. the volume picks up there as well as off of the castro valley y. a pretty typical pattern, lighter than normal commute but slowing nonetheless. also some more through sunol. south 680 as well as west 580. we're watching the area right around those new outlet malls. this is the first year they have been in place. likely to see a lot of slowing for 580 as well. back to you. one last check of the day's top stories. rocket fire continues in gaza as tension between israeli and palestinian forces is building. at least 95 palestinians now dead, five of those just overnight. the two sides still very far apart in efforts to negotiate a cease-fire. a 14-year-old vallejo boy accused of kidnapping and assaulting a 65-year-old woman
